Monday
Simply and profoundly, Therese opened her heart to Jesus and professed her love and faithfulness in response to his great love. In your prayer today, approach Jesus with that same simplicity and give yourself to him without reservation, responding generously to the love he offers you.

Tuesday
Heeding the call of Jesus to obey the two great commandments, love of God and love of neighbor, Therese believed that “love…is all our hearts were made for.” In your prayer today, ask God to give you the grace to make love your only priority.

Monday
Humble souls recognizing their own sinfulness, see only good in their neighbor. Pray today that you will reach out in love to your neighbor and “esteem them” and leave any judgment to God alone.

Saturday
So aware of her sinfulness and God’s generosity in forgiving her, Therese was equally aware of how deeply she was loved. In your prayer today, ask Jesus to make you aware of his great love and give you the grace to accept God’s forgiveness for all your sins.

Friday
John encourages those souls who may be discouraged by their experience of “dryness and emptiness” by teaching them that they are learning humility. Pray today for a true awareness of your powerlessness.
